Book with PearlWhy go
The Nantucket Hotel & Resort is the most practical full-service option on the island for families and returning visitors who want amenities and a central location.

About The Nantucket Hotel & Resort
Who Should Book The Nantucket Hotel & Resort
If you want a full-service resort on Nantucket without committing to the boutique intimacy of smaller inns, The Nantucket Hotel & Resort at 77 Easton Street is the most practical choice. It suits families who need amenities, returning guests who know the island and want poolside convenience, and couples who prefer a larger property with more on-site options than Greydon House or Union Street Inn can deliver. If you've stayed once and found Nantucket's smaller guesthouses too quiet or limiting, this is where to go next.
Booking Window and Timing
Nantucket's peak season runs late June through Labor Day, and the island compresses a full summer's demand into roughly ten weeks. Book at least three to four months ahead for July and August stays — this applies across the island, from The Wauwinet to The Cottages at Nantucket Boat Basin. September and early October offer better availability, cooler temperatures, and a significantly quieter experience. If shoulder-season rates are your priority, late May and early June often see the leading price-to-experience ratio before the summer crowds arrive. Direct booking is worth exploring here: many Nantucket properties offer room upgrades or small perks — early check-in, late check-out, activity credits, for guests who book direct rather than through third-party platforms. Always ask at time of reservation.
The Property
The hotel sits close to the center of town, giving guests walkable access to Nantucket's main dining and shopping areas. The resort format means multiple accommodation types are available, from standard rooms to suites and cottage-style units, which makes it more flexible than most Nantucket options for groups or extended stays. Families will find the amenities structure more practical than the design-led boutique properties like 76 Main Ink Press Hotel. For the island's most secluded setting, The Wauwinet still has the edge, but that means a car or taxi for every town visit. The Nantucket Hotel trades seclusion for convenience, which is the right call for most first and second-time visitors. For broader context on where this property fits in the island's accommodation options, see our full Nantucket hotels guide.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
The Nantucket Hotel & Resort reads as a town-centered, resort-scale property that leans into the island’s architectural language rather than imposing a generic luxury template. Situated on Easton Street, it feels rooted in Nantucket’s grey-shingle palette and textured, bleached-wood detailing; those materials and accents give public spaces and guestrooms a relaxed, quietly charming personality. It trades the intimacy of a tiny inn for the ease and infrastructure of a larger property, keeping guests close to downtown energy while still presenting a composed, island-aware design approach.
Best For
This hotel is best for travelers who want to be in the middle of Nantucket life: families, groups and anyone planning a short island escape benefit from its central Easton Street location. The resort-scale model makes it easier to travel with kids or luggage-heavy group trips, and being within easy walking distance of the harbour, restaurants and shops removes the need to rely on a car. It’s a practical base for exploring the summer bustle, ferry schedules and the town’s dining scene.
Stay Tips
Book early for summer travel and prioritize rooms that put you close to downtown to take full advantage of the hotel’s walkable Easton Street address. Since the property occupies the resort tier, expect on-site dining and other guest-oriented infrastructure—confirm those amenities and operating hours when you reserve. Keep in mind the guide’s point that a car can be more burden than benefit on the island: plan to arrive with a minimal reliance on driving and use the hotel as a convenient hub for walking to ferries, shops and restaurants.

Hotel context
How It Compares
Among Nantucket's mid-to-upper tier hotels, The Nantucket Hotel & Resort occupies a clear niche: resort-scale amenities with a central location. The Wauwinet is the island's strongest case for a secluded, service-focused stay, if budget allows, it beats the Nantucket Hotel on atmosphere and culinary experience, but you'll need transport for every town trip. White Elephant Harborside Hotel offers a more polished harbor-facing experience and is the better call for guests who prioritize views and a high-end feel over family amenities.
Greydon House and The Brant are stronger choices if design sensibility and a more intimate property matter to you, both deliver a sharper aesthetic than the resort format here. 76 Main Ink Press Hotel is the value-conscious pick for design-led accommodation without full resort pricing. For families who need multiple room types, accessible amenities, and flexibility, The Nantucket Hotel remains the most practical option in the competitive set.
If you're comparing Nantucket to other high-end island or resort destinations, the comparison changes significantly. Properties like Little Palm Island Resort & Spa or Four Seasons at The Surf Club operate at a different service tier, though at considerably higher price points. Within Nantucket itself, the decision comes down to: seclusion and service (The Wauwinet), harbor views and polish (White Elephant), boutique design (Greydon House), or central convenience and amenities (The Nantucket Hotel).

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which room category is best at The Nantucket Hotel & Resort?
Room category details are not publicly documented in our data, so specific tier recommendations aren't possible here. Generally at a resort property on Nantucket, rooms with outdoor access or water views command a premium that's worth paying in peak season when you'll spend time on property. Contact the hotel at 77 Easton St directly to ask which categories were most recently renovated before committing.
How is the pool and spa at The Nantucket Hotel & Resort?
Specific pool and spa details aren't confirmed in our records, but the resort format at this property is a core part of its pitch over smaller inns and boutique options like Greydon House, which won't have equivalent facilities. If on-site amenities are a deciding factor for your stay, verify current spa availability when booking, since Nantucket's short season can affect operating schedules.
How does The Nantucket Hotel & Resort compare to nearby hotels?
Among Nantucket options, The Wauwinet suits guests who want seclusion and a more refined, remote experience, while White Elephant Harborside Hotel is stronger for harbor views and a social scene. The Nantucket Hotel sits in town, making it the most practical base for guests who want walkable access to dining and shops without renting a car. Greydon House and 76 Main Ink Press Hotel offer boutique formats with more distinct character but fewer resort amenities. The Brant is the option to compare if you're weighing room count and group-size flexibility.
How is the dining at The Nantucket Hotel & Resort?
Specific restaurant details, menus, and cuisine type are not in our records for this property. Nantucket has a strong independent dining scene within walking distance of 77 Easton St, so relying entirely on in-house dining isn't necessary. Confirm current food and beverage options directly with the hotel before booking if on-site dining convenience is important to your trip.
When is the best time to book The Nantucket Hotel & Resort?
Book at least three months out for late June through Labor Day stays — that window is when the island compresses peak demand into roughly ten weeks and availability at any full-service resort goes quickly. Shoulder season in May or September offers lower pressure and likely better rates, though some amenities may operate on reduced schedules. If your dates are flexible, early September gives you most of the summer experience with fewer crowds.
Is The Nantucket Hotel & Resort family-friendly?
The resort format makes this one of the more practical family options on the island — more so than boutique properties like Greydon House or 76 Main Ink Press Hotel, which are better suited to couples or solo travelers. Multiple amenities on a single property reduces the logistics of keeping families occupied during a Nantucket stay. Confirm whether kids' programming or connecting rooms are available for your specific travel window when you book.
How is the location of The Nantucket Hotel & Resort?
The address at 77 Easton St puts the hotel close to Nantucket's town center, which is a genuine advantage on an island where car use is limited and parking is difficult in peak season. Walkable access to the main dining and shopping areas means you're not dependent on taxis or bikes for basic errands. For guests who want seclusion, The Wauwinet's remote position is the better trade-off, but for town access, this location is practical.
